Postcard from Cortez in southwestern Colorado | Sunday, January 10, 2021
It’s not easy to top the list in a state known for everything outdoors.
Yet, visitors to Cortez in southwestern Colorado, near where the Centennial State meets Arizona, Utah and New Mexico at Four Corners, discover a remarkable destination that includes natural wonders, national parks, archaeological landmarks and a vineyard in arguably one of the most unexpected of locations.
My visit started at Sutcliffe Vineyards situated in McElmo Canyon, an oasis surrounded by the sagebrush and cottonwoods of Colorado’s high desert. The drive to and from Cortez, the seat of Montezuma County, takes about 20 minutes on a winding county road.
The latest update on outbreaks in Colorado includes a slew of entries related to fire and police agencies, with one city Pueblo suffering infections across the width and breadth of its public safety departments. And that only scratches the surface when it comes to COVID-19 s impact on businesses and other enterprises across the state.
The Colorado Department of Public Health and Environment considers an entity an outbreak after two or more COVID-19 cases among residents, staffers or other people connected to a specific location are confirmed within a fourteen-day period, or two or more cases of respiratory illness with an onset of symptoms within a fourteen-day period are paired with at least one additional COVID-19 diagnosis. The vast majority of businesses and facilities identified as outbreaks remain open, while working with the department to monitor symptoms and prevent future infections.
